UFC 186 Bold Predictions: Can Mighty Mouse and Rampage Jackson Save Saturday?

We haven’t even seen the fights yet, and UFC 186 is already among the UFC’s wildest events of the year. What was originally meant to be a championship doubleheader is now reduced to one. An injury to bantamweight titlist T.J. Dillashaw swept a proposed rematch with Renan Barao off the table until July, leaving Demetrious […]

MacDonald vs. Lombard Off, Mighty Mouse vs. Horiguchi New Co-Main at UFC 186

T.J. Dillashaw Open to Fighting Jose Aldo or Mighty Mouse, Not Urijah Faber

It has been a crazy week for the bantamweight division and its champion T.J. Dillashaw. Where the reigning 135-pound king was slated to face former long-standing title holder Dominick Cruz in a highly anticipated bout sometime in 2015, those plans were scrapped in a big way when “The Dominator” announced he’d suffered yet another knee injury. […]

UFC 178: Now Would Be a Good Time for Mighty Mouse to Steal the Show

Boy, what a time everyone’s going to have on Saturday. The UFC is back with a pay-per-view presence befitting its price tag, serving up fight after fight built on big names and big excitement.

UFC: Barao and Mighty Mouse Are Chasing Records and Recognition

Two men are very close to tying UFC records, men who have combined to go 17-1-1 inside cages constructed by Zuffa’s roadies. Overwrought statements of promotion notwithstanding, there are kernels of truth in the hard sell Dana White has been doing for months now: bantamweight champion Renan Barao and flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson are bad […]

Johnson vs. Moraga: Mighty Mouse Needs Dominant Win to Become Pay-Per-View Draw

Quick, name the only UFC champion that hasn’t headlined a pay-per-view.  If you said Demetrious Johnson, congratulations. The headline may have been a strong hint, but you got it.  It’s true. The promotion’s lightest champion has yet to be the main attraction for a pay-per-view—partially due to the fact that fighters from the smaller weight […]
